Hey there. Me again. 2 days later and there’s another ad:

And you’re not so big!

You’re really committed to this bit, aren’t you?

This is a pretty terrible comparison considering those cartridges didn’t include any game data… You could probably still use them today, the only thing they held was game save data…

LOL you don’t get to call it “the same ad” when it pops up in different places just because it’s for the same deal

Look, another 3 days later, another ad:

This time a pop-up ad when I opened my VPN! Fun! But don’t worry, it only happens 1-2x/year…

I never would have guessed anywhere near 400k, that’s wild!

It is not a button to turn on a feature, it’s an invitation to spend more money (AKA an ad). You don’t even know what you’re talking about.

That’s not an ad!? WTF is it then?

After provisioning a PC with a Windows 11, version 24H2 monthly cumulative update released on or after July 2025 (KB5062553), various apps such as StartMenuExperiencehost, Search, SystemSettings, Taskbar or Explorer might experience difficulties.

Oh look there’s another ad today. A week later. But yeah, it’s only once or twice a year.

No tangible difference.

I’m gonna call it: apathy

Ha, that’s an old comment. I did end up playing the game and yes, it runs very well.

Honestly I wish they would just go back to making operating systems. Linux is far too complicated and janky for me to use outside of gaming on Steam. And Apple hardware is a bad combination of absurdly expensive and disposable. I’d gladly pay for a system that simply facilitated my needs and wasn’t incessantly harassing me to buy shit I didn’t want or need in an effort to extract more money.

Well hey, they did (supposedly?) fix that 10 year old bug where it would restart after you told it to shut down, so there’s that.

A write-off is just a bookkeeping manouver that means

No. A write-off is nothing more than a company expense. It’s a deduction from their income.

🔥 Everything is fine 🔥

Cloudlfare down. tl;Dr?

I had one ordered before but the more you look at the specific language this guy uses, the more clear it becomes that he was not in it for anyone but himself. The community exists to finance his pet project.

Articles are incentivized to elaborate beyond what is even remotely necessary, link back to no one but themselves themselves, repeatedly, and to serve ads and extract personal information for sale while they’re doing it.

So you’ll have to excuse some of us looking for the tl;dr
